A heated exchange erupted between TVK leaders and an emotional woman during the Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam’s Tanjore North District advisory meeting on Sunday, 29 September 2024, held at a private wedding hall in Kumbakonam. The meeting, led by the TVK general secretary, Anand, took a dramatic turn when a woman approached the stage with an emotional appeal regarding her brother’s exclusion from the party.

The woman questioned Anand, saying, “My brother sold his property and raised the Vijay Makkal Iyakkam. But why has he been excluded from the party?” Her brother, Thangadurai, was reportedly the former district president of the Vijay Makkal Iyakkam in Thanjavur and had contributed significantly to the party’s early efforts.

Tensions escalated as security personnel, including bouncers, forcibly removed (dragging) the woman from the stage area. She was then locked in a room within the hall, sparking a commotion. Reporters attempting to capture the incident were blocked by party administrators, leading to a heated argument.

The incident has drawn attention to growing discontent within the party, as some members allege that Thangadurai, despite his contributions, was sidelined after the movement gained traction. His sister, Pushpa, engaged in a verbal altercation with General Secretary Anand, further fueling the commotion.
